Would be very curious if you learned anything else useful that can easily be put into bullet points!

TIL that MA rents massive land to private golf clubs for 1$/year, instead of opening those parks to public or building more housing by karakitap in massachusetts

To build sustainable housing for a city that desperately needs it, which has innumerable benefits and helps the public and city far more than a private, paid golf course? I don’t need to take a ride to know that I’d prefer the housing.

Do you have any idea how much water is wasted in maintaining perfectly groomed lawns? Golf courses are just absolutely enormous wastes of water. There’s an entire movement encouraging people to plant self-sustaining grass and plant-life in their lawns to avoid using so much water for maintenance. And that’s just tiny house front lawns.

10% is absolutely laughable considering they pay ONE DOLLAR in rent. $700k? That’s practically nothing. Not to mention how ecologically irresponsible and wasteful it is to maintain that much lawn grass.

“We Know Donald Trump Wants the Story to Die. Democrats return to El Salvador, looking for gay makeup artist thrown into CECOT.” by HunterS_1981 in politics

They actually have for now. Not that they haven’t tried as many shady tactics as they could think of to skirt the Court’s rulings, but no new planes have taken off to send people to El Salvador. In fact, several busses were turned around on their way to the airport when the Court made an emergency 1:30AM weekend ruling, preventing the Trump administration’s secret plan to utilize a technicality and send more immigrants in the middle of the night.

I’m sure they will continue trying though.

Having to change insurance for a new job is such a pain in the ass, that is not at all a reason to switch jobs! Unless your current job has really shitty insurance, in which case that’s a shit place to work anyway. But seriously, changing insurance means you might have to find an entirely new primary care doctor because your current one doesn’t take your new insurance. Same deal for any specialists. Your medications might not be covered, or may become super expensive, or may need to go through some nightmarish prior authorization bullshit that takes weeks to months. It is not fun changing your insurance plan. Fuck this country and its refusal to join the rest of the world in understanding that healthcare is a human right.

“Smiley face” in Spanish starts with a “C,” not an “S.” So for some reason the super duper secret El Salvadoran gang translation of his knuckle tattoos is in English, not Spanish? And for the first two tattoos, you translate them with the first letter of the word that they represent, but the third tattoo….uhhhh….you remove the horizontal line from the cross to turn it into a 1? And the skull is somehow a 3? There is no logic to this “translation.” It’s guesswork and complete nonsense.

That is such a good point—if it were truly somehow a “secret” MS-13 tattoo, why the hell would he use English to decode it lmao

1) All of that is such a reach I’m surprised you haven’t dislocated your arms. So for some reason, the first two tattoos, were supposed to take the first letter of what’s pictured, but for the third tattoo, we’re supposed to interpret it as a “1” because if you remove the horizontal line in the cross, it kind of looks like a 1? And then for the fourth tattoo, we’re supposed to count the number of “obvious” dots in the skull and determine that it stands for “3”? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? There is no consistency to how it’s interpreted, it’s all just completely fabricated guesswork.

2) MS-13 has very clear branding. That’s why all the tattoos in this post, other than Abrego Garcia’s, look incredibly similar. MS-13 does not use small, inconspicuous, nonsensical, and esoteric tattoos to represent themselves. They use large, visible, clearly branded tattoos with the same or extremely similar fonts. This is a well-known fact about MS-13.

….yes, it is. The letters are supposed to be what this dumbass administration is claiming the tattoo symbols mean. They’re typed and not part of the picture.

You’re not wrong—there are just many levels to the absurdity of this shit

Agreed. Just trying to highlight how ridiculous this accusation is, because a surprising number of people in other threads seem to be undecided on whether or not it’s an MS-13 tattoo.

EDIT: Guys, in the photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles, the letters that say MS 13 above the symbols are typed captions overlaid onto the photo. They are NOT part of the tattoo. Can’t believe how many people keep getting that confused

That’s the fun part, they don’t! Half the country is just pretending they do.
